Forgiveness to the injured does belong; but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.
Men's virtues I have commended as freely as I have taxed their crimes.
God never made his work for man to mend.
Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!
Among our crimes oblivion may be set.
As one that neither seeks, nor shuns his foe.
